Kevin Nash is a Detroit native and he doesn’t understand when the city got its own style of pizza.
Nash brought up the issue on an episode of his Kliq This podcast, noting that he recently went home to Detroit to promote his new cannabis brand. Nash said Little Caesars was a Detroit staple and doesn’t know where the square-cut, “Detroit Style” came from.
“I want to say something about something that’s really been bothering me. I went home to Detroit and the guys from Hyman [Cannabis] treat me like family. I think the same way about them, but there’s no fucking square pizza in Detroit, OK?
I don’t know who the fuck Little Caesars is — the Red Wings and the Pistons play in the Little Caesars [Arena]. I grew up eating Little Caesars pizza. I grew up like everyone else, eating round pizzas. Two of them sat on this long cardboard [tray] and the put this, like the old bologna paper, a wrap over the top of it. Shit, two for $5, medium cheese.
Oliver asked why the push for square pizza?
“All of the sudden, Pizza Hut and someone was selling ‘Detroit Style Pizza’ and it’s square and I’m like, ‘we never ate that.’
They call it [that], it’s the new thing. Fuckin’ Google it, it looks like something they should serve at the hospital or something. We never had stupid-ass square fuckin’ pizza.”
There are many styles of pizza like New York, Chicago deep dish and even Altoona-style, but the advent of Detroit-style pizza remains a myth.
